Diaphus drachmanni, the Drachmann's lanternfish, is a species of lanternfish found in the eastern Indian Ocean.[1][2]

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of Danish classical philologist Anders Bjørn Drachmann (1860-1935), the president of the Carlsberg Foundation, which financed the Dana expedition that collected the type specimen.[3]
